To all whom it may concern.- Be it lmown that I, CHARLES P. MAISER, aresident of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have mvented a. new and useful Improvement in Pie-Hangers; and I do hereby declare the fo owing to be a full, clear, andexact description thereof. 1 7' My invention relates to ipehangers, andhas special reference to t at class of pipehangers which is employedinfor sec and holding in position gas and other epipes.

The object of my invention is to provide a pipe-hanger of the classmentioned that can e easily and quickl secured between the joists .orrafters of a as well as one that can be adjusted-to the desired de eeand can be rigidly attached in' place an securely fastened together.

My invention conslsts, generally stated, in

the novel arrangement, construction, and

1 combination of parts, as hereinafter more specifically set fort wires.

and described, and particularl pointed out in the claims.

'1' enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains toconstruct and use my improved lpe-hanger, I will describe the same morey, referring to the accompanying-rdrawings, in which igure 1 is aperspective view showing a portion of the building construction andhavlng my improved pipe-hanger secured thereto in position and o ding apipe. Fig. 2 is a pers ective view of one of the two sections used informing the bracket of the hanger. 3 is a perspective view of the strapor clamp for connecting the pipe and holding the same on the ha er. Flg.4 is an enlarged top plan view of t e hanger connected to the pipe andshowing the latter in section. Fig. 5 1s a like view showing the h erhaving an attachment thereon for the hzllfingof electric 6 is a sideview of such holder for electric wires with the arms of the bracket insection.

Like bols of reference herein indicate like parts in each of the figuresof the drawfn the drawings, A represents the ceiling of the building, anB represents the floor thereof, while between are arr ed the joists 0,upon which rests a gas-supp y pipe 1, having a T-coup 2 thereon forcan-3 1g? a branc pipe 3, whic extends downwar y through the ceiling Aand isconnccted to the chandelier. (Not shown.)

The pipe-hanger is shown at D and consists of two arms or bars4 forforming the bracket 4, which bars are-exact duplicates of one anotherand are formed of flat bars or pieces of sheet metal, so that they canbe placed against each other. Each of these bars 4' has formed at oneend thereof a. clamp or cli 5, which is bent out from said bar. and isadapted to fit over its opposite bar 4, as shown in Fig. 1. The'otherend of said bars 4 are bent out at a right angle to the bed port1onthereof, as shown at 6, so as to secured to the joists c' by means ofscrews 7, which pass through holes or o enings 8 in said angularportlons 6 and ta e into said joists c. A clam in member 9 is adapted toconnect with said racket 4 and w1th the branch pipe 3 and is formed ofthe forked portion 9, provided withtwo arms 10 thereon, which armsextend out at right angles from the body ortion 11 thereof and have attheir ends the ooked or curved ortions 12 for fitting around the ipe 3.e bars 4 of the bracket 4 fit wit the opening 13,formed between theforks 10, and a set-screw 14 passes through a threaded ope 15 in saidody portion 11 and e a es with the adjacent one of the bars 4 o t ebracket 4 in order to securely clamp by a vise-like action the ipe 3within the curved portions 12 of the orks 10 and against said adjacentbar 4 of said bracket.

The construction of my pipe-h er is such that, if desired, electricwires can e strung' and held upon the same by means of a' holder 16,such as is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, and this holder is formed with twochambers 17, which are insulated in any suitable manner, while betweensaid chambers is a bridge portion 18, which is connected to and formedas part of the same. Lugs 01.8818 19 extend out from one side of thechambers 17, while between these ears and the chambers 17 a space oropening 20 is formed, so that the two bars 4 of the bracket 4 areadapted to be placed within said space or opening and underneath thebridge portion 18 in order that such holder 16 can be secured to thebracket 4 by means of a set-screw 21, which passes throu h one of saidears and e es with the side of one of the bars 4 of sad racket.

It thus be seen that my improved pipe-hanger'is simple in itsconstruction and one end for holding the hanger in place, and 1ufacture, as well as one whic will be ing the chande 'er thereto,thereby prevent-' mg such pipe from dropp' down, and at the same timewill enable sue a ban er-to bepipe shoul happen,

used in cases where the to be-tilted or hungon an-mcline.

What I claim as m invention, and desire to secure by Letters atent, is.-

1. Ida pipehanger, the combination of two bars secured at one end forholding the hangerin place, clips on said barsfor fittingover its 0posite bar to hold the same together, an a clamp connected to-one'sideof said bars and enga 'ng with the pipe" on the o posite side of. saibars to hold sald pipe in p ace.

2. Ina pipe-hanger, the combination" of two bars secured at one end forholding the hanger in place, clips'bent out from the other end of saidbars for fitting over its opposite bar to hold the same together, and aclamp connected to one side of saidbars and enga ing with the pipe onthe o posite side of said bars to hold said pipe in p ace.

3. In a pipe-hanger, the combination of two bars connected together andsecured at y in position,

- fitting aroun 4. In a pipe-hanger, the combination of two barsconnected together and secured at one end for holding the hanger inplace and a forked clamp connected to one side oi and fitting aroundsaid bars for engaging with the pipe to hold said pi in place againstthe opposite side of said are.
